note 84517 added to function.mcrypt-module-open

A slight improvement of dinamic's function to create a key: I think the weak point is that capitals are always used in the same part of the string. The following code capitalizes random characters of the string, making the key less predictable: <?php $key = substr($key1, 0, $ks/2) . substr($key2, (round(strlen($key2) / 2)), $ks/2); $key = substr($key.$key1.$key2.$key1,0,$ks); $buffer = str_split($key); $limit = count($buffer)-1; srand((float)microtime() * 1000000); $end = rand(0, $limit); $a = 0; // replace random chars with capitals while ($a < $end) { list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime()); $seed = ((float)$sec) + ((float) $usec * 100000); mt_srand($seed); $index = mt_rand(0,$limit); $buffer[$index] = strtoupper($buffer[$index]); $a++; } $key = join('', $buffer); ?> ---- Server IP: 217.160.72.57 Probable Submitter: 91.19.68.174 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mcrypt-module-open.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84517 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84517/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84517/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84517/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84517/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84517/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84517/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84517 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84517 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
